Back in those days fewer people had cars. As a consequence most lived within walking distance of their work and schools or used public transport. Only main routes were salted then as now but nobody found that a great problem. These days teachers can have problems getting to school and there is no point opening if a sizeable proportion of the staff won't be there on time.

There is some possible benefit in that there is less time for the children to be indoctrinated with woke lefty nonsense by the woke lefty teachers. Unfortunately that continues while learning to read and write suffers. That doesn't matter these days as they will still be able to go to university and get their advanced indoctrination.

The recent hot weather was a problem for most here for a  couple of linked reasons. High humidity combined with being old so less able to cope with that.

I've seen suggestions that we will be having more quite hot weather for a couple of months at least. The technical term used by metereologists for this is summer ☀️

Yes.   That makes sense.
